Virginia to Outlaw All forms of Self Defense
Virginia to Outlaw Kickboxing, Tai Chi, Firearms Instruction and Self-defense Training
The State of Virginia is proposing a new 2020 law known as SB64 (see link here) which will be taken up by the Senate beginning January 8, 2020.

Erin O'Toole distances himself from MacKay and Scheer as leadership campaign kicks off at Calgary rally
In response to an audience member's question, O'Toole said he would march in a Pride parade. 'There are no albatrosses in my Conservative party'
In a speech before Conservative faithful in Calgary Monday evening, just hours after he kicked off his campaign to lead the party, Erin O’Toole tried to paint himself as the candidate who is neither Peter MacKay or Andrew Scheer, imploring the crowd to back him as the man who could lead the party back into power in Ottawa.

“People are losing their jobs. People are losing their homes. People are losing hope,” said O’Toole. “And what have we been doing? Fighting amongst ourselves, at times, instead of taking the fight where we need to — to defeating Justin Trudeau.”

After New Hampshire it's clear: Joe Biden's campaign is on life support
With so much opportunity, and frankly so much fear, Democrats are shopping around for their best bet to beat the biggest bozo
The first is that Joe Biden’s campaign is on life support. Not so long ago, this was Biden’s contest to lose. After two crushing defeats, there’s no doubt about the prognosis: the former vice-president is fading fast.
Back in 2008 and 2016, Hillary Clinton ran two versions of the argument that voters wanted a mix of experience and change: of looking back and looking forward. That argument failed among Democrats the first time, and won the national popular vote the second time around by a large margin.
